"You're not a monster just because your father is" Clover snapped with the last of her energy. With one last unstable wobble, she fell to the ground unconscious.

Aaron returned to reality. "Alex, imprison Slasher with a shadow cage. Rave, reinforce the shadows with electricity, so it will cut of his limbs if he manages to get through.

Alex and Rave immediately followed orders, trapping Slasher. 

Aaron sat in front of Rainstorm very calmly. "Shasta is dead, as you already know." he reported. "Slasher is imprisoned, and he is Swift's father, as was recently revealed. Clover went after him." Aaron glanced over at the imprisoned cat thing. "I think we can rehabilitate him to some degree of sanity. After all, we tamed Swift, and we trained Alex successfully enough." 

Swift ran to Clover, Shes right.. He thought, But I still feel as though I can't show my face around the others...  He started to make a nest around Clover so she didn't have to be on the ground.

"I don't know..." Rainstorm replied, glancing at Slasher, who had started laughing demonicly again, "He looks like he would be almost impossible to rehabilitate..."

Swift's ear twitched and he turned around, seeing Aaron.  He took a few steps back, not knowing if he felt the same way as Clover did about him.

((Aaron is Clover's father. XD))

Aaron arrived in front of Swift panting. "Clover is weak." he panted, observing her on the ground. "Swift, can you carry her back to Rainstorm? Alex and Rave have captured Slasher, but we have yet to find a way to stop his maniacal laughter." he said, glancing back.

((Make Slasher blind Alex sometime, not yet though. :P )) 

((Huh? I ment that if Aaron thought he was evil like his father or not? o.o

And okay XD))

Swift nodded, taking everything in quickly.  He tentivley picked up Clover and started to walk towards Rainstorm.

Rainstorm, instently relising that Clover was weak, motioned to a nest in her cave. "Put her there so I can preform some strengthing spells." She said.

Swift nodded and did as he was told.

Rainstorm stood over Clover, murmuring some phases that should make her strong.

Slasher was still laughing, but he stopped suddenly, and sneered, and started to say a ryme, "A is for Amber who drowned in a pool..." He started, making Amber's ears prick.  "B is for Billy who was eaten by gouls.." Now Swift was staring at Slasher, wondering why he was saying this ryme.  "C is for Curt with disease in the brain..."

"And D is for dogs, who'll kill you if you talk again." Aaron snarled to Slasher. He couldn't help wondering how he had known Amber's name however, but he brushed it away, realizing it must have been mentioned earlier.

Clover drowsily woke up and sat on her haunches. "Thank you Rainstorm." she said gratefully. "Is Swift here?" she asked, looking around. "Oh!" she said with a smile. "There you are." she padded over and nuzzled under his chin. ((I'm imagining him a bit bigger than a wolf, is that right?))

Aaron was surprised at Clover's behavior. He shook his head clear of thoughts and sighed. "What are we going to do with Slasher?" he wondered aloud.

"I think we should slit his throat and roast him on a spit above a sizzling flame." Alex growled anxiously.

Clover barked angrily. "Stop it Alex! He is a living soul!" she snapped. She glanced at him. "Somewhere deep deep down inside he is at least..." 

((They are about the same size, but Swift's were-form is a lot bigger))

Swift glanced at Slasher, "Maybe if you looked really deep..."

Slasher started to laugh again, "Deeper then hell you would have to look." He started, "And down there you shall cook!"

((I have an urge to talk in rymes.

I like limes.  O3o))

((lol

my feet smell))

"Slasher is your name right?" Rave asked curiously. "Where ever did you get that knife on your tail?"

Aaron listened to see if Slasher was civilized enough to answer Rave's question.

"Maybe he's not too far gone yet." Clover whispered to Swift. 

((Thats nice. o.o))

Slasher stared at Rave for a few secounds.  "I can absorb items and make them a part of my body." He replied, his tail lashing.

"Maybe..." Swift whispered back.

"That's interesting." Rave said. "I *censored*ume that you absorbed the knives as well?"

"He seems to be normal enough. I don;t think he's completely insane" Clover whispered. 

Slasher nodded proudly unsheathing his 'claws' and looking at them, "The first things I absorbed." He said.

Swift shrugged, "I guess..." He whispered back.
